Dreer's Select Hardy Climbing Plants 



Bignonia, or Trumpet Vine 



Actinidia 



Arguta (The Silver Vine). A very desirable hardy- 

 Japanese climber of strong vigorous growth, with 

 dark green, shining foliage and greenish white flowers 

 with purple centres, which are followed by clusters of 

 edible fruit of fig-like flavor. Strong plants, $1.00 

 each. 



Akebia Quinata 



(Akebia Vine) 



One of the most graceful of our hardy climbers, pro- 

 ducing in early spring numberless bunches of violet 

 brown flowers, which have a pleasant cinnamon odor. 

 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Ampelopsis 



Englemanni. A greatly improved variety of the 

 Virginia Creeper, with dense foliage of a glossy light 

 green in summer, changing to a brilliant crimson in 

 autumn. 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



Lowi. A splendid variation from the popular Boston 

 or Japan Ivy, possessing all the merits of the parent, 

 being perfectly hardy, clinging to the smoothest 

 surface without support, and with much smaller 

 foliage, which is deeply cut, giving it a grace and 

 elegance entirely distinct from the old type. In the 

 spring and summer the leaves are a bright fresh 

 apple-green color, changing in the autumn to various 

 brilliant tones of orange, crimson and scarlet. 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz. 



Quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper or American Ivy). 

 Large, deep green foliage assumes brilliant shades of 

 yellow crimson and scarlet in the fall. 40 cts. each; 

 $4.00 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Veitchi (Boston or Japan Ivy). The most popular 

 climbing plant for covering brick, stone or wooden 

 walls, trees, etc. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Aristolochia Sipho 



(Dutchman's Pipe Vine) 



A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing singu- 

 lar brownish-colored flowers, resembling a pipe in shape. 

 Its flowers, however, are of little value compared to its 

 light green leaves, which are of very large size, and 

 retain their color from early spring to late fall; perfectly 

 hardy. Strong plants, $1.00 each. 



BlgnOnia (Trumpet Vine) 



Grandiflora. The true large flowered type with showy orange-red 

 flowers. $1.00 each. 



Radicans. For covering unsightly places, stumps, rockwork, or 

 wherever a showy-flowering vine is desired, this will be found very 

 useful. The dark red flowers, with orange throat, are attractive, 

 and borne profusely; very hardy. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis Paniculata 



(Japanese Virgin's Bower) 



Small, dense, cheerful green foliage, and pure white, deliciously 

 fragrant flowers, which appear in the greatest profusion in August 

 and September. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Large-flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 

 large-flowering Clematis. 

 Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. 

 Duchess of Edinburgh. Large double white. 

 Jackmani. The popular rich purple variety. 

 Mme. Edouard Andre. Bright rosy carmine. 



Price. Any of the above, 75 cts. each. 



Clematis Montana Undulata 



(Anemone Flowered Clematis) 



A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds under the 

 most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower-like white 

 flushed mauve flowers are from 1J to 2 inches in diameter and fre- 

 quently begin to expand as early as the last week in April, just about 

 when Wisterias are finished, continuing well through May and are pro- 

 duced very freely. The best of the early spring-flowering climbers, of 

 which there are but few. Strong 2-year old plants 50 cts. each; extra 

 heavy 3-year old plants, $1.00 each. 



Clematis Montana Perfecta 



Identical with the above but almost white flowers. Strong plants, 

 50 cts. each.
